Audient iD24 — Editorial Review
The Audient iD24 is a 10-in / 14-out USB-C audio interface that brings console-grade preamps and high-end conversion to a compact desktop unit. It targets home and project studios that want clean, characterful sound without stepping up to rackmount gear.

Console preamps and articulate conversion
MusicTech and MusicRadar highlight mic preamps using the same circuit design as Audient's ASP8024-HE console — ultra-low noise with a hint of analog character — paired with high-dynamic-range converters (around 126dB), flexible insert points, assured build, and bus power. In Julian Krause's measurement-driven review — featured above — the iD24's clean preamps and converters are put on the bench.
Honest cons
- Control software limits. The iD mixer app is more basic than some rivals' DSP suites.
- Channel count at high sample rates. A single ADAT bank caps expansion channels at 96kHz.
- No onboard DSP. There's no built-in real-time effects processing.
- Price and overkill risk. It costs more than entry interfaces and may be more than a basic home setup needs.
Where this interface fits
- Home and project studios that want pristine preamps and conversion in a compact footprint.
- Vocalists and instrumentalists who value low noise and a touch of analog character.
- Producers who need flexible I/O, inserts, and ADAT expansion.
- Not beginners on a tight budget, or those needing onboard DSP/effects and many channels at 96kHz.
